The misogynist had a woman running his campaign.  The racist's first appointee is a black man.  Imagine that.  One by one, the liberals' hollow rhetoric will be debunked.

I think I get your point McC.

If Trump publicly calls women fat pigs and brags of groping them, and says wives shouldn't work, those are just words. But if he hires a woman, that is an action that speaks louder than words. He clearly can not be misogynist.

Same on the race issue. In some places around the US a certain high school demographic has celebrated the Trump campaign by chanting "build the wall" and "white power," while the Klan even now prepares a victory parade in North Carolina, insisting they helped him win. They have all "heard" something in Trump's words that made them feel empowered and encouraged to behave this way.   But because Trump has appointed a minor black official to his transition team, we can feel reassured that his young supporters will now hear something else.

The concern some liberals might still have, though, hangs on the relation between Trump's words and his actions on public policy.

Will he ask us to put all the divisiveness and hate aside and unite, not as Republicans and Democrats but as Americans one and all, to build the wall, deport families, and ban Muslims?

Perhaps you are right McC, and liberal fears based on Trump's words are baseless. His campaign promises give no real indication of how he will act on policy. Agree or disagree, the vote is over and now we can only wait and see.
